Bill C-252 amends the Food and Drugs Act to prohibit food and beverage marketing to persons under 13 years of age. Amendment CPC-1 seeks to promote a healthy lifestyle in children through sports and athletic programs, which is not contemplated in the bill. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 770, “An amendment to a bill that was referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.”
In the opinion of the chair, the amendment introduces a new concept to the bill that goes beyond the scope of the bill. That's why I ruled the amendment inadmissible.
